Mark1 : A 1991, 8.2L diesel GMC Blue Bird school bus. We drove from New Hampshire to California during Summer 2006. Tigger Incognito (below) has been transformed into a completely functional motorhome. At the moment finances prohibit veggie oil conversion.

Captain/maintenance/construction: Sandor Stockfleth

First mate: Sarah Steely
Secondary drivers: Matt Risch, Carl Mefferd and Jezra Beaulieu (she left us in Minneapolis)

Tigger Incognito currently resides in Bellingham, Washington.

This is what she looked like before we did anything.

The side of the bus (named Tigger at this point) after loading all of Sandor’s belongings onto it after graduating from Hampshire College in May 2006. This was Sarah’s first trip on the beast, from mod (apartment) 45 to the bell. Sandor and his brother,Trevor, are about to leave Hampshire College and drive the bus up to Sandor’s father’s house in New Hampshire to work on it.

Here Matt and Jezra are looking cute. You can see the mess of the bus behind them.

Here we have left Sarah’s house in Pennsylvania. While in PA we painted the bus with a white reflective paint to lower the heat inside the bus. However, we did not prime it ahead of time so the black stripes are still noticable. Hence the name Tigger Incognito.
